Short summary
A large-eddy simulation model is used to show that a weakening of the large-scale subsidence, which is associated with a future warmer climate, leads to a delay of the moment of break up of stratocumulus clouds during subtropical stratocumulus transitions. To understand what causes this delay, a novel analysis method is used to distil the contributions of individual physical processes to the evolution of the stratocumulus cloud thickness.
